I am looking to see if anyone remembers a TV programme about a man who lived in London - Pimlico I think and a women who lives in America and they wrote letters to each other. These were read out whilst you saw them in their gardens. The london garden was a communal gated one in Pimlico. I think it was in the 1990's???
Not sure where to look or anyone to ask?? Anyone vaguely remember??

Do you mean 84 Charing Cross Road? There is a play and there was a TV series. Helene Hanff wrote letters to a second hand bookshop owner.
You might find it on YouTube. I find most things are on there!
Wonky please if you can find it still, post a link to the Monty Don Lost Gardens series you mentioned a couple of weeks ago, l can't find it on YouTube myself and would love to watch it. Thanks.

the only way I found it was by searching Monty Don't then there is a collection of about 200 videos in one group. Click on one and it will show the rest. Enjoy! I loved the program! 
Oh you're a star Wonky, thank you so much. I'm currently off work laid up in bed so now have something worth watching.
That link took me Heligan.
the programme mentioned by the OP is called The 3,000 mile garden I believe.
Found the link to the book, my edit facility doesn't work!

That's strange Lyn, I just clicked on it and it took me to lost gardens...
I hope you can find it Lilysilly! If not by the link then maybe the search for Monty Don. Let me know if you have any trouble and I'll try again 
Oh it worked for me Wonky. Just watched episode 1 and have bookmarked the rest. Thank you again?
I'm so glad Lilysilly
I thought it a fantastic program as I love history also. I hope you enjoy it!
